How to Verify Financial Data Before Using It in an Article or App
Financial data looks deceptively simple. An interest rate is a number. A tax bracket is a range. An exchange rate is a price. A market statistic is usually expressed as a percentage or monetary value.

I turn your trading setup into an MT5 bot with your prop firm's daily and max loss rules built in. Try it free on demo first.
The separate reference period and publication date matter for trading software too. I would add the exact time the value first became available to the strategy, plus a version or revision date. A later corrected number must not replace the earlier observation in a historical decision. One useful acceptance case is a release that arrives after the decision cutoff: preserve the earlier value and verify that the new release cannot change that already-made decision.
